Sweet Words from Past Participants

“I don’t often say this about a teacher, but knowing Claire has been life-changing for me.  And Claire is a role model for me in the way she lives her philosophy herself.”
—Michelle Hess, Mount Horeb, WI

“The moment you encounter Claire your world will expand with the collaborative invitation that she embodies. The only question will be, how much creativity and joy do you want to experience in your life?  I find Claire’s genius bubbling in whatever she touches, and her exquisite aesthetic reaches everywhere.  She’ll ignite your sense of possibility and happily journey with you into more and more expression of your chosen goals.”
—Kathlyn Hendricks, Ojai, CA

“Claire, what a wonderful group. I felt very comfortable with all of the women.  We have a sense of trust with one another that seems to have happened rather quickly. I think that your essence and energy invite that level of sharing.”
—Janet Cargill, Milford, NJ

“Claire! I always feel a jolt of joy when in contact with you in any form.  You are an Engaging Connector.  An Inviting Reacher-Outer.  A Sweet Aliveness Flyer.  A Joy Igniter.  An Infectious Creator.”

About Claire

I’m a fiber artist, watercolorist and surface pattern designer. Time in my studio is sacred play. And yet I call upon all the tools in the Sweet Spot ‘toolbox’ to make it happen, because my creative expression is often blocked, or I resist it, or on some level fear it. So I know firsthand these tools work, reliably, and with a surprising yet familiar ease.

Aside from time in my studio, sharing these tools with creative soulmates is my favorite thing to do, where we get to explore together — in community of learning buddies — how to create a new and deeper relationship with our Soul’s most vital need for expression. It would be my great delight if you chose to join me — and us!
